I'm a former student of Miami Edison Senor High . Class of 1992
Miami Edison is a great School. The School itself do not have anything to do with it. It's the student that do not have a strong parent at home that give the school that reputation. The needs more parent participation to give the school support with those student.

I AM AN ALUMNI OF MIAMI EDISON SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND I PERSONALLY DO NOT THINK THAT MIAMI EDISON IS A BAD SCHOOL. STUDENTS ALWAYS HAVE EXCUSES FOR EVERTHING. IM CLASS OF 06 AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS A "D" SCHOOL AT THE TIME, IT IS STUDENTS THAT MAKE THE SCHOOL WHAT IT IS. HOW DO THE STUDENTS EXPECT TO LEARN IF THEY KEEP DISRUPTING THE TEACHER. THE TEACHERS DO THEIR JOB; WELL ATLEAST ALL THAT I HAD DID. IT'S KNOWN AS A BAD SCHOOL ONLY BECAUSE THE STUDENTS MAKE IT BAD. IF THEY (STUDENTS) START TO TAKE RESONSIBILTY EDISON WOULD NOT HAVE IT'S REPUTATION

I would not recommend any one to teach or enroll as a student at Miami Edison Senior High School. The students in the school aren't boring at all, in fact, Miami Edison Senior High is home to some of the most rowdiest students in the state, which is why they don't succeed in majority of the things that they try to accomplish. In classes, we don't learn anything, but if the teachers decide that they want to teach, they teach the same thing redundantly. I am a student at Miami Edison Senior High. I'm one of the those students that earns popularity through my intelligence and my looks. A student that somehow got stuck in this zoo [Miami Edison Senior High]! I love my peers that attend the school! The teachers on the other hand, they need to get a life and find a new career, because teaching is not working for them. The teachers that I've had this year, they barely teach. All they do is hand me an assignment and expect me to finish it by the time class is over. Although this earns me an easy "A", it makes me angry. I like to be challenged, but the challenge just isn't within Miami Edison Senior High School! So...Hey! It is what it is!
